Probwbly recycled for lack of news, lazy editorial staff, or like happens with the Oxford Times, used to 'fill white space' because of an over-stretched news and reporting team. Many are now (like the old 'free' newspapers were) just advertising vehicles, with the legal requirement of articles to trade as a newspaper. Added to which, newspaper sales can't effectively compete with online news or the convenience of people's mobile phones. That said, the Oxford Mail online and mobile editions are quite good.

Rather than welcoming 'any development' that incorporates environmental features, what I actually said was: ‘Sustainable Wantage welcomes any steps developers are prepared to take, which enhance the level of energy and environmental sustainability to a level well above that required by Government.' Just for the record! With depleting resources, rising costs and global warming already serious concerns, energy efficient housing needs to be a top priority for any new developments.

As part of this proposed development there should be a traffic calming scheme on Chain Hill. At the moment the 30mph speed limit is routinely ignored with cars reaching over 60 miles an hour whilst driving up or down this unlit road which has no pavement. With many more cars entering or leaving the proposed development there is an increased danger of serious traffic accidents.
